Much loved Yamaha R1 was stolen 11:00 in South East London and recovered at 14.30 - 3 May 2018
We received a motion alert from a customer’s R1 motorcycle at 11am. The customer confirmed his bike had been stolen, with the cut off chain all that remained of his much loved machine.
We tracked the bike cell locations for a few miles whilst the customer tried to report the crime. We decided to deploy a radio finder as no GPS signals were coming through, we thought it was possibly in the back of a van.
After 20 minutes of being stationary we eventually received a valid GPS fix. This helped the deployed finder to easily home in on the secret radio tracking signals to find the bike parked up against a wall in the corner of a car park in the London Bermondsey SE16 area.
The customer soon attended the recovery location but the bike had a damaged ignition lock, also the disc had been cut to remove the disc lock.
Automatrics reported back to the police that the bike had been found and paid for DMR motorcycle recovery to take it to the customers preferred Yamaha mechanic. Met Police didn't need to attend the site.
We think the customers wife will definitely be happy to see the bike safely recovered after buying the R1 dream sports bike for her husband seven years ago when they got married.
